• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/OM143 - Document &1 cannot be canceled; it was created by replication ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/OM143 Document &1 cannot be canceled; it was created by replication typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you attempt to cancel a document that was created through replication from another system, such as SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the document in question was not created directly in the SAP TM system but was replicated from another system. As a result, the system does not allow cancellation of the document directly in TM because it expects that any changes or cancellations should be handled in the source system where the document was originally created.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Source System: Determine which system the document was replicated from. This could be an SAP ERP system or another SAP system.
  
  
  Cancel in the Source System: Go to the source system and locate the original document. Perform the cancellation or any necessary changes there. This action will typically trigger a replication process that updates the TM system accordingly.
  
  
  Check Replication Settings: Ensure that the replication settings between the source system and SAP TM are correctly configured. This includes checking the middleware (like SAP PI/PO or SAP Cloud Platform Integration) if applicable.
  
  
  Monitor Replication: After canceling the document in the source system, monitor the replication process to ensure that the changes are reflected in the SAP TM system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the replication process or how to cancel documents in the source system, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to transportation management and replication, such as /SCMTMS/OM for managing transportation documents.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations in both the source and target systems to perform the required actions.
